True. How frequently is it checked? I have not been able to
determine this accurately. We have many G3 iMacs with dead
batteries, once the power is out the clock is set to any odd date and
time. I have seen many records in our DBs with inaccurate dates.
Also a lot of our data is using calculations involving the date and
time. It is odd to see that a job in our plant took -7777 days for
us to complete. We have set every computer with the Set Date & Time
Automatically. The problem still continues. This apple script will
help us with the time the power is restored to the time the clock is
checked then corrected.

I assume you know that the Date and Time Preference panel has a
check box: "Set date & time automatically". When checked, your time
is checked frequently enough to assure that (current time) in a
script is very close to correct.

Is there any way Apple Script can compare the current time of the
computer to an external time server, i.e. time.apple.com? It would
also be nice to have the Script to update the computer clock if it is
off by a day. Minutes and hours are not the important. If it can
not update the computer clock we can get Filemaker to show a message
that the clock is off and call us, then quit.
Is this possible before I start to find an answer?
